Aron Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, my operating system is Windows XP. My computer is a zoostorm. I got the computer on 24/12/12. I wanted to watch a DVD on my computer but it didn't work. I then downloaded a DVD compatible software. Since I downloaded this software my computer has had a virus on it. It doesn't allow me to use my internet even tho the signal is very good. I have run numours anti-virus scans and cleaners but nothing has worked. This problem occurred about a month ago. As it's a new computer I thought I would delete the operating system and install windows 7 or 8. How do I delete my Windows XP operating system? Quote
seedy21 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 How do I delete my Windows XP operating system? With the Recovery CD/ DVD you would run the CD and just Format the Drive I then downloaded a DVD compatible software. Since I downloaded this software my computer has had a virus on it.

KenB Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Hi and welcome to ExTS I got the computer on 24/12/12 Presumably this is not a new computer as XP is now 4 OS generations ago. ? You may find that the system - if it was designed for XP - will not support 7 and certainly will not support Win 8. I suggest that you let one of our security experts take a look if this doesn't work for you ..... Start > Run .....type in ......msconfig ......ENTER Click on "Launch System Restore" Follow the screen prompts and restore the system to a date just before you downloaded the problem software.
